Tummy Ache

Miss Hazel Girl made us some fabulous food last night. We ate until we were ready to explode. :) ... Not too surprising the rest of the evening was spent having tummy ache, tummy ache... ouch!

I just saw the weather for tomorrow - RAIN!!! :( The freakn Dog Show is outside..how great is that going to be? Not very...

Oh smoke...

...it is Sex & the City on TV.. and it does not matter how many times I've already seen the episodes... it is still fabulously good. :)

ps. Did I mention it is time for the next Dog Show on Sunday? Very exciting...my gorgeous Baby Blue is so ready!

A Visit

Susanne and the kids came for a visit today. We walked up to the city where we strolled around for a bit. Had lunch at a restaurant and enjoyed the food on their outside patio...well until the rain came. However, we braved it under a huge patio umbrella ... but after a while we decided to go inside and continue the feast with some ice-cream instead. Yum! :) It was great getting to spend some time with you guys - we're very happy you came for a visit!

Big Girls Do Cry

I don’t write about my baby Carlos on the blog very often. But that’s because it’s still such a sensitive topic. It is quite amazing how you can survive losing someone that means so much to you. When it happens it is such a life altering experience that hurts so bad that you can’t help but wonder... Is this going to kill me?

No words can describe how much Carlos meant to me... He was my dog, my baby, my guardian, my best friend... he was my EVERYTHING! Carlos was the heart in our family! Not a day goes by without me thinking about him, and missing him like crazy.

When we came back home from the vet, having been given the devastating diagnosis, Carlos and I laid down on the bed just looking at each other... I had the TV on in the background and my favourite song at the time was playing .. Big Girls Don’t Cry with Fergie.

Every time I hear this song now, I think of Carlos..... it has become “our song”. Here it is...



We miss you losis ... love you - always!

I got challenged...

You think he can jump?

My little cutie.. I just wanna kiss him, kiss him, kiss him. :)

Hmmm, what happened? :)

Typical Sunday

It is Sunday, and like all other Sundays this summer, it has been spent working on the weekly HRM assignment ... The deadline is Sunday before midnight... but I am done, sent it in a while ago. This is so typical of me though, I always wait until the last minute ..:(

Just came in from the late night “pee & poo” walk with the dogs, and we ran in to a hedgehog (igelkott) ... there are lots of them, and Mr. Old Man Alih does not care for them at all... lol. Damn, he’s a freak! He got all worked up for a poor little hedgehog... lol. He's getting more and more crazy with age, I tell ya!
